Down, Exodus, Saint Vitus And More Added To Scion Rock Fest 2012

Earlier this week, Scion A/V leaked a few bands confirmed for their annual Rock Fest. But just minutes ago, the full lineup to this year’s Scion Rock Fest has been announced. And all we can say is WOW.

Bands like Down, Exodus, Saint Vitus, Phobia, Suffocation, Origin, Sick Of It All, Wold, Revocation, Witch Mountain, The Atlas Moth, Vermapyre, Flyingsnakes, and Party Time have been added to the bill. These groups join previously announced acts Sleep, Repulsion, Merzbow with Balazs Pandi, Church Of Misery, Psychic TV, Oxbow, Decapitated Terror, Cerebral Ballzy, All Pigs Must Die, Ides Of Gemini, and Cellgraft.

As previously reported, Scion Rock Fest will be taking place in Tampa, FL at The Ritz Ybor, Crowbar, Czar and The Orpheum. RSVPs will go live tomorrow at Noon PST via Scion A/V’s website. And may we suggest that you act fast tomorrow, because space is limited and this is one hell of a solid lineup not worth missing.
